Summer of Simulation

The LRZ invited Master and PhD Students, starting in the field of simulation and supercomputing for the "Summer of Simulation" (SoS). The goal of this training program is to develop a scalable and optimal setup for applications from the fields of molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry or bioinformatics and run them on SuperMUC during the summer months. SoS participants could acquire a budget of up to 10 Mio CPU hours in the following two stage process.

Applicants had to write a short proposal (about 1 page) describing their project, their experience with simulation and supercomputing, contact data and affiliation and send it to LRZ. Selected proposals were assigned a tutor from the LRZ Bio-Lab. In the first stage, each project was granted 1Mio CPU hours on SuperMUC to develop and test a scalable setup of her/his application together with the tutor. In the second stage, the projects could apply for an additional 9 Mio CPU hours. In a final meeting, all participants shared their results.
